In our local Co-op at around 7pm most evenings, the staff put out a trolley of reduced priced food - food that is coming up to its best before date. Bread 10p loaf, half Cucumbers 13p, belly rashers 34p, Onions 13p a bag of 12 - 15, small pork pies 35p for a pack of 6. Lots more items these are just a few I remember, Its worth finding out if your local Co-op are doing anything similar - makes the shopping money go a little further for food that has nothing wrong with it as long as you plan to eat it within a few days.

well spotted. apparently quite a few supermarkets have similar policies. My local Coop tends to get over-supplied with the latest special introductory offer. 3 days later it can be found reduced to 1/3rd of the special price. Keeps the freezer nicely filled!

Surprisingly the Waitrose here has the best bargains in town. They put red stickers on reduced stuff that I can now spot an aisle away.
We often get joints of Beef (Organic too) that were on sale at £12-£13 for as little as £3 or £4. Pizzas for £1, etc. Our freezer is full of such bargains.

Let's hope the freezer is reliable and not, say, unplugged and ignored.
